I'm definitely considering it.

If I weren’t using my Samsung Q990F as a HiFi system I think I might have bought one.

If you sign up on the KEF website you might be able to get 10 per cent off it.

Don't see the point of them when the LSX II LTs are far better spec'd for only £100 more....

No. I might have considered them if they were LDAC-equipped.

The LSX is really only suited for smaller rooms, and this is a widespread experience. The Coda W is a larger speaker, albeit with the same 100w power rating and no wifi streaming. But KEF is pushing its bespoke phono stage and latest Bluetooth aptX Lossless facility. It also retains the HDMI port.

So it's horses for courses, but I maintain the Coda will be better suited for larger rooms.

It has aptX Lossless, so the absence of LDAC is no big deal really.
